Figured I might post up some of my favorite birds from this summer. This has been my first year in business and I have really enjoyed working on so many great people's trophies. I'm looking forward to another great season!

Great work!

Thanks, that pintail was a pain but I like how he turned out. I know I won't be doing anymore remounts though lol!

The GWT base is a combination of particle board, wires, fiberglass, and bondo. It took quite a bit of sanding and forming but I like the way it turned out and had a lot of fun painting the silhouettes on the bottom.

About 6 months now and yes, I've about run out of birds so I'll be happy to take in some more!

I might mail you a bird to be done. I like my guy but he's getting pretty up there in age and his work is slowly declining. Where are you located?
